    I don't see how these differ from standard verbs.

    I think the actual check should be pretty smooth.  In the case where the system
    is being ignored and things only have one parent, it is just as effecient as it
    is
    now.

    Well, you can't do this NOW, can you?  If I have a parentage tree such that
    foo == parent(bar) == parent(parent(baz)), you can't pass() to a verb on foo
    without
    going through bar, can you?
